Scientists
are now saying that the universe is accelerating. That is, the universe is not
just continuing to expand, but is actually accelerating in its expansion.
Is
this True?
First,
I am not sure this is true. I want to look at the data myself. I want to know
exactly what it is these scientists saw or measured. Then I will interpret that
for myself.Very often, people are mistaken in what they observe. They can also attribute a cause to their observation which isn’t really true.
As a
simple example, the Geiger Counter doesn’t really measure the amount of
radioactive decay. What we get is a series of clicks, and these clicks are
caused first by radioactive decay hitting the sensor, and then a cascading effect
of subsequent electrons produced in the device. Thus, the Geiger Counter can
give us an approximate idea of the radioactive decay, yet we can never
correlate exact number of clicks to specific amounts of decay.
There
are other examples as well. And many times highly respected scientists
(including myself) will question the reports. What you are measuring may in
fact be something else. Or the cause of your observation may be due to another
factor.
Therefore,
before I can actually agree that the stars of the universe are accelerating, I
need to study the actual observations.
I had another problem with the idea of the accelerating universe: how can stars be accelerating? After a burst of electromagnetic energy has been created, it travels at the same speed, virtually forever. Therefore it does not make sense to me that photons will increase their speed.
Actual
Cause of the Accelerating Universe
However,
today I have developed a theory on the Cause of the Accelerating Universe.
Suppose
it is true that the stars, planets, photons, and various particles are indeed
accelerating. This implies that there is an external force being applied. This
the key concept.
I
could never agree with the concept of stars and EM bursts accelerating on their
own. This just can’t happen. Yet if we apply an external force on the stars and
EM bursts, then we can indeed accelerate them.
Therefore,
this implies that there is Strong Force at the center of the universe. This is
something like a giant sun which continues to produce energy. This energy is
then applied to all entities in the universe. In other words, this energy is in
some form which can PUSH on the photons, stars, and other objects. This
external pushing will in fact cause the photons, stars, and various objects to
accelerate.
Thus,
the main cause for an accelerating expanding universe must be a strong,
continuous force of energy in the center of the universe. The entity, whatever
it is, continues to produce very strong energy, in a form that can push all
objects in the universe. This pushing causes the objects to accelerate.
Giant
Pump, Giant Fan, Giant Geyser
The
way I imagine this entity in the center of the universe is a giant pump, a
giant fan, or a giant geyser.
Think
of a pump. You squeeze it, and air is pushed along. Now imagine a giant pump,
the size of a supernova…and imagine the amount of air this pump can push.
Of
course we know that space contains very little air molecules, yet this giant
pump is pushing something. It could be tiny particles, it could be quarks and
protons, or it could be any number of things. Yet this pump is pushing
something. And whatever is being pushed by the pump will eventually hit each
star and each photon. This is the physical push which causes the star or photon
to actually increase forward trajectory speed, aka acceleration.
The analogy
of the giant fan is similar. You know that a fan will push air, and a higher
powered fan will push air faster….thus the air is being “accelerated” to higher
speeds. Again, the entity in the center of the universe could be like a giant fan,
pushing some small particles in the universe at high speeds, which then push on
the stars and photons, causing them to accelerate.
The
geyser analogy also works. In the geysers on earth we have a process of heat
and water underground, which ultimately causes the water to burst out. The
explosive force can cause the water to be jettisoned hundreds of feet in the air.
Now
suppose we have a similar entity in the center of the universe. Yet instead of
water, our giant geyser jettisons some type of energy. Thus, every few minutes,
this giant geyser burst forth a stream of energy – perhaps a stream several
miles long.
This
stream of energy may take several forms. This is yet to be discovered. One
possible form is magnetic energy, or possibly electromagnetic energy. There may
be other types of energy emitted as well.
Whatever
form of energy this is, the energy will travel throughout space, and when it
hits an object, the applied energy will cause the object to travel faster.
Thus, if the stars and EM bursts of the universe are not only expanding, but also in fact accelerating, then the primary cause must be due to an entity at the center of the universe. This entity will continuously produce energy, or it will continue to apply a force to tiny particles. Whatever the form, the energy or particles will be sent accelerating through space, and when hits another object, will cause that object to accelerate.
This
is the likely cause of an accelerating universe.
